Jewelry Industry Groups Create New Political Council.
There’s a new collective voice for the jewelry industry on Capitol Hill. According to IDEX Online, nine US jewelry associations have partnered to form the United States Jewelry Council (USJC). The purpose of the new organization is to work more closely together on making sure the US jewelry industry is represented at government and international levels, as well as dealing more effectively on key issues that might impact the US industry.
The new council is made up of the American Gem Society (AGS), Diamond Council of America (DCA), Diamond Bourse of Southeast United States (DBSE), Diamond Dealers Club of New York (DDC), Diamond Manufacturers & Importers Association of America (DMIA), Indian Diamond and Colored Stone Association (IDCA), Jewelers of America (JA), Manufacturing Jewelers & Suppliers of America (MJSA) and the Natural Color Diamond Association (NCDIA).
